This New Orleans French bread pizza is flat out delicious. Everything on it tastes soooo good. There isn’t a pizza like you might be used to. Instead, there are artichokes, salty olives, roasted red peppers and tender chicken strips. And of course, cheese.
½poundchicken breastsboneless, skinless, cut into thin strips (if you freeze the chicken for 30 minutes before cutting, it will slice much easier and thinner)
Place bread in the oven for a few minutes until it gets just a bit crispy. Remove.
Heat oil in a large skillet.
Add the chicken and garlic cook for 3-5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Do not overcook as the chicken will cook more in the oven.
Remove from heat.
Stir in the artichokes, peppers, olives, oregano and pepper and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
Spoon mixture onto the bread halves and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Place in oven and bake 8-10 minutes or until bread is nice and crispy and the cheese is melted. Place under the broiler for 1 minute to lightly brown the cheese if desired.
